There have been rumours in the industry over the past few days that Ajay Devgn directorial, Runway 34, starring the actor Amitabh Bachchan, Boman Irani, and Rakul Preet Singh, may be pushed back from its previously scheduled Eid release date. All rumours have been debunked by a source close to Ajay Devgn.
“Ajay Devgn is committed to bringing Runway 34 on Eid. He has shot the film over the last year and a half keeping this slot in mind and the work on edit is on the verge of being locked in a fortnight. The trailer edit work has also started, so there is going to be absolutely no delay in Runway 34,” a source close to Devgn informed Bollywood Society.
The source informed that Devgn backing off from the clash also has a Salman Khan connect. “Before announcing the Eid 2022 release, Ajay Devgn had a detailed chat with Salman Khan about the date, since Eid release is synonymous to a Salman Khan film. Salman assured that he did not have any film up for release and it was only after the mutual discussion that Devgn announced the date. He is very close to Salman and didn’t want to lock horns with someone whom he considers his best friend from the industry. If he backs off now, the entire conversation on the idea of arriving on Eid also goes for a toss, as if not for Devgn, Salman might have thought of a quickie for Eid,” the source added.
However, Heropanti 2 is set to debut in the same week as the very first movie, however Devgn is unconcerned because the two movies would appeal to distinct audiences. Heropanti 2 is indeed an out-and-out masala entertainment, whereas Runway 34 is indeed a suspenseful thriller. So, the Eid war has begun!
